Join the Sport and Society Research Network conference with a discount

Founded in 2010, the Sport & Society Research Network is brought together around a common interest in cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. Under the heading ‘Whose Body Is it? Sport and the Problem of Autonomy’, this year’s conference will have a special focus on how the bodies of athletes are free and/or governed at all levels of sports.

Researchers from a variety of disciplines are invited to present their investigations on legal, organisational, and medical aspects on the relationship between sport, society, and athletes’ bodies, as well as research on historical legacies and socio-cultural meanings of changes in gender, race, and cultural definitions of bodies.

The conference also invites submissions on a range of other themes under the headings: Sporting cultures and identities; sport and health; sports education; and sports management and commercialisation.
